About this ebook
In Maria S. Cummins' novel, 'The Lamplighter,' readers are immersed in a compelling narrative centered around the orphaned protagonist, Gerty. The book explores themes of redemption, forgiveness, and the power of love amidst the challenges faced by a young girl growing up in 19th-century America. Cummins' writing style is characterized by a deep sense of empathy for her characters and a keen eye for detail, which adds layers of complexity to the story. The novel's sentimental tone and moral lessons align with the sentimentality found in popular literature of the period, making 'The Lamplighter' a classic example of sentimental fiction from the mid-1800s. The book's portrayal of societal norms and the importance of inner goodness still resonates with modern readers today. Maria S. Cummins, a 19th-century American author, drew upon her own experiences and observations of society to craft 'The Lamplighter.' With a background in education and social reform, Cummins used her writing as a platform to address issues of morality and female empowerment during her time. Her unique perspective and literary talent shine through in this timeless novel, making it a must-read for those interested in American sentimental fiction and historical literature. I highly recommend 'The Lamplighter' to readers who appreciate engaging storytelling, rich character development, and thought-provoking themes. Cummins' exploration of the human spirit and the triumph of good over evil will leave a lasting impact on those who delve into the pages of this captivating novel.

I gave the "PUBLISHER" this rating because for those who have not heard of the "Lamplighter" in the section which is usually used for a synopsis of the storyline, in this instance it was solely and singularly about the PUBLISHER and not a Single word on the story itself! How is Anyone to decide IF they want to download it without the information to make an Informed Decision. I Don't care how much it costs, l refuse to download Anything without knowing all the info. Absurd! Damn Self Promotion!
